Individual Health Insurance

Individual health insurance gives you access to private medical care if you aren’t insured by your employer. This lets you swerve lengthy NHS waiting lists and receive quality healthcare in no time. You will also be able to choose the private facilities where you will be diagnosed and treated, and benefit from specialist treatments unavailable on the NHS.

Although you can use NHS services if you wish, individual health insurance is ideal or those who want greater control over your medical care. Whether this is your first time arranging cover, or you want to upgrade your current plan, it’s crucial to compare different providers. That’s why we look at all the individual health insurance providers in the UK to let you see what your best policy for you is.
